That event map makes my mouth water....this area was socked. Locals have mentioned several events that have dropped 100 to 150 inches in a week during their lifetimes.
Checking out webcams this morning and noticed a few things.
The ridge sure does lose snow faster than the Tug! They had several feet fall, and Perrysburg is already down to a couple inches of slush and some grass.
The northern Tug seems to lose snow faster than down here in Central/Southern Tug. I know Buffalowx mentioned this when I was looking for a location.
My guess is the warm SEly winds downslope from the higher elevation.
Still solid several inch snowpack here...other than where rainwater was draining.
BUF's forecasts do seem off. I didn't want to say anything, because I am new to their region.
Wolfie, 10:1 ratio, that would be about 6 inches for me. Is it normally pretty difficult to get west winds here?
Well, BUF's forecast discussion sure was depressing this morning... Our significant west flow lake effect event has now become "not significant", cold pattern break down, above normal temperatures.......
